What I get up to when I’m not designing. I’m big on getting outside and getting at it — whether it’s on the water, biking or knee deep in the snow.

Chris Young, CGD is an Art Director and Senior Graphic Designer in Vancouver, BC with many years of art direction and communication design experience. I have a passion for designing UX/UI for digital, print, packaging and environments, and enjoy seeing my vision translated into different mediums.

I’m currently the Art Director/Senior Graphic Designer at KIMBO Design in Vancouver, which just recently cracked the top 5 list in Business In Vancouver’s list of Biggest Graphic Design Firms in B.C.

I’m involved with Vancouver’s creative and design industry, as a volunteer member of Creative Pulse, which produces at-capacity monthly casual events for Vancouver’s advertising/design creatives and other industry professionals. CP’s aim is to connect likeminded creatives in a collaborative and inspiring setting. Creative Pulse also hosts the hugely successful Behance Portfolio Reviews, #BehanceVAN. You can find out more about Creative Pulse at creativepulse.co and facebook.com/CreativePulseVancouver.

I also volunteer at GDC and partner events, like Practivism and Interesting Vancouver.

In addition to design, I’m deeply involved with the action sports industry. Working with a team, I’ve helped organize some of the most prestigious events on the BMX calendar including the legendary Red Bull Elevation contests and the Metro Jam BMX contest series around the world.
